Opinion

I think if you ask anyone on campus if Princeton is diverse, you would hear a resounding “yes.” It’s not easy to overlook the multitude of student organizations we have here that embrace cultural affinities: the Chinese Students’ Association, South Asian Students’ Association, Black Student Union and the Taiwanese-American Students’ Association immediately come to mind.

Listen to more live music

Kinnari Shah

Duke Ellington once said, “There’s two kinds of music: good music ... and the other kind. I like both.” When I first came to campus four years ago, Duke and I disagreed.

Fulfilling our admissions promise

James Di Palma-Grisi

Princeton does a pretty good job extending financial aid to students. It also has a fairly strong record of nominal diversity —racial, ethnic and economic —in recent history.

Untarnishable

Jagged little pill

Morgan Jerkins

I have a friend whom I consider to be very popular on campus. People are always coming to visit him while he's working, and he tends to be "in the know" about upcoming social events at a level that I cannot even begin to approach.

Editorial: Separate class governments from the Senate

Editorial Board

On Dec. 8, the USG is planning to vote on a constitutional amendment that would formally separate the class governments from the Senate . The Editorial Board supports this amendment, as a more formal separation of the two bodies would accurately reflect the separate roles they play and the fact that one body is not superior to the other. Currently, the class governments and Senate operate as two branches of USG.

The ideal Princetonian

Bennett McIntosh and Aaron Robertson

Aaron: Before entering Princeton, I held an obscure image of what I believed to be the “ideal University student.” I imagined that once I arrived, I would be expected to participate unquestioningly in a social and academic community to which I was not accustomed.
